Courage can't see around corners, but goes around them anyway. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
When we are afraid we ought not to occupy ourselves with endeavoring to prove that there is no danger, but in strengthening ourselves to go on in spite of the danger. ~Mark Rutherford"Jeff Bauman was still in intensive care, heavily sedated after surgery because of inuries at Boston Marathron, but he had something he desperately needed to tell his brother. “He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, ‘bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,’”
Joe Berti, 43, crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon, the first bomb exploded. Berti wasn't injured. On Wednesday night, Joe was driving home near Waco, Texas, when he saw — and felt — the West fertilizer plant explosion.
And so the brave continued to looked for the cowards who caused suffering and ran away. "Coward: One who, in a perilous emergency, thinks with his legs." ~Ambrose Bierce Yes, the cowards ran, but not fast or far enough. The cowards' end came as they lay in the dirt. If you hurt or threaten us, there is no place in the world for you to hide.
